Everyone I know is either getting married or having babies and I am over here like "Hi I'm obsessed with my dogs and drink wine". I never imagined how much love I could have for my pets until I came across my two blessings. There is never a dull moment when I am around my dogs whether they are play fighting, chasing their tail or snuggling up to me and being super cute. I know you other doggy parents have the same joys as the rest of us so why not share them with other who don't have what we have?
1. Being able to come home after a long stressful day and being greeted at the sound of your car door shutting. Its such a good feeling when you see their little tails wagging and the excitement on their faces when they see you for the first time all day since you left. It makes my heart melt when my pups get excited to see me.
2. They teach you to be less self-centered. You now know (sorta) what it's like to be a parent and know when its time to put them in front of yourself. Just because you wanted to sleep in doesn't mean you can because your little buds need to go out and eat in the morning. Their needs become one of the most important things to you.
3. Catching those funny moments give you something to laugh about and tell your friends about. Like I mentioned before about them chasing their tail or jumping so high they wiggle all the way down and wipeout before they can catch themselves. These moments are so joyous and give us a good giggle.
4. Watching them make other pup friends is also a perk. Knowing that they can have playdates means more fun for you and your friends with dogs too because everyone can have a good time. The dogs can tire each other out and you and your friends can enjoy that bottle of wine or cooking dinner together.
5. Its a terrible feeling whenever you have to leave to go to class, work or places don't allow dogs and you really wanted that marg with your friends and have leave your pups behind but when you come home and NOTHING has been torn to shreds or their were no accidents... Its the BEST feeling ever.
There is also the perk of having something to be obsessed with that no one can really judge you for because I mean look at their faces, who could do that? My pups have only been in my life for a little bit but I find myself spoiling them more than I spoil myself, looking for dog accessories or toys more than for things for myself and even talking about them more in normal everyday conversations. I love being a dog parent and everyone should enjoy it too!
